Is there a difference between web site database software?

Types of Ecommerce Database Software.

There are several database software solutions out there. Depending on the server type you are using, free and cheap options such as mySQL and mSQL are available for your use. In Windows, the defacto web site database is Microsoft SQL Server, though other packages do exist. Each software has its own nuances. For example, Microsoft SQL is slightly different than traditional SQL used in Sybase or Oracle databases. In short, almost all databases created today are Relational Databases, and should suit your needs as you create your database driven websites.
